Pretty much

Today, I was at a family birthday, and was excitingly telling my aunt about my new career in IT Security and Data Management. Her response was, "So you just look into a screen all day?" FML

To say it in such a derogatory way, yes. Most non-manual jobs nowadays consist in staring at a screen all day anyway.

Every once in a while I'm looking at the report papers too

Sadly, she's not wrong (speaking as a software engineer for a major telecom company)

My grandpa backed me up by saying "Yeah of course, just like the ship captains, all they do is look out the window"

Your aunt is right, and 5-10 years you’ll be wishing that you chose a different career.

Nah mate, this field suits me well. It just sucked that a family member didn't see the importance of it, and disregarded it just because she's a nurse that doesn't "look into a screen all day", ya know? It has taken me quite a while to figure out what to do with my life, and I'm finally happy with what I've chosen. Which made it suck even more that she said it like that.
